title: [One successful end-of-life home care handled by three physicians].
abstract: Aging population has been advancing in Ito city located in the northern part of Izu peninsula. Many elderly people are hoping to receive an end-of-life care at home, but there is no home care section in Ito municipal hospital, a flagship hospital in this region. One of the end-stage leukemia patients of our hospital hoped to die at home. We report a case that three physicians joined together to take care of this terminal patient with a cooperation from nurses, home-visit nursing care station and a care manager.
